2023: C2023 Hard Life

C2023 Hard Life

But when we got here, we couldn't see anything. All we could see was a small basin and four cliffs. The scenery here was very monotonous. Not only that, but the life here was also very monotonous and arduous.

Those hardworking people lived in the mountain valley or caves every day. The terrain here was like a cage. The natural cage imprisoned thousands of laborers, and under this natural cage, no one could escape.

This natural cage seemed to be used to imprison the existence of these coolies. It was the land of blood and tears for these coolies. For many years, countless people had died here and then exploded in the wilderness.

Wang Xiao found that his sympathy had started to overflow again. Every time he saw something like this, his sympathy would overflow. Although these people were not related to him, when he saw them suffer, Wang Xiao could not help but sympathize with them.

"Damn it, stop right there."

An angry voice sounded. A slovenly laborer was chasing another slovenly person with a hoe. These two were definitely coolies, because only the coolies would be so slovenly.

"Why are you chasing me?" The coolie who escaped shouted in horror.

The laborer who was holding a weapon cursed, "F * ck you, you betrayed me. I will kill you today."

"I didn't. I really didn't."

"F * ck you! You said you didn't! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" The laborer with the hoe quickly rushed forward and ruthlessly dug at the man's head.

"Ah!"

After a scream, the man was dug to death.

Although the Vice Captain saw this scene, he ignored it and was too lazy to stop it.

Wang Xiao originally wanted to attack, but he did not know what was going on, so he was too lazy to do it.

"Humph!"

The Vice Captain snorted coldly and muttered to itself, "These b * stards have already fallen to this extent, yet they still do not forget to fight amongst themselves."

"What's going on? Why isn't anyone stopping them from killing each other?" Wang Xiao asked.

Not far away, there were also experts from this sect. However, those people didn't seem to care at all. They just looked at this scene coldly, as if they didn't see the coolie killing people. It was unknown if they did not see it, or if they did not want to ask.

The Vice Captain said, "In this place, killing is a very casual thing. As long as you have a grudge with the other party and you must kill him, you can go to the eight places to apply. However, there are conditions."

"What conditions?" Wang Xiao asked.

"It's simple. Who did you kill? Do double the work for the dead." The Vice Captain said.

It turned out that here, if there was any hatred between them, as long as they applied to the eight places, they would be able to kill each other. However, after killing the other party, they would have to do things for the deceased. However, most of the hard working people probably wouldn't easily kill.

Because their own work was already very heavy and difficult to complete. If they were to do another person's work, they would definitely not be able to withstand it. Therefore, unless there was a deep hatred, otherwise, no coolie would easily kill people.

This rule really looked down on human life.

However, it was not surprising that this mysterious sect could create such a rule. This was because the bird people of this sect were originally vicious and merciless. Therefore, there was nothing to be surprised about for them to be able to set such a rule.

The Vice Captain continued, "However, Spirit Force cultivators cannot kill each other. As long as they are Spirit Force cultivators, no matter what grudges they have, they cannot kill each other. This is a rule. If they violate it, they will die a miserable death."

This was understandable. After all, it was very difficult for cultivators of the Spirit Force to find one another. Sometimes, they wouldn't even be able to find a single cultivator of the Spirit Force in a few months. Therefore, the experts of this sect would not allow the Spirit Force cultivators to kill each other.

Under the lead of the Vice Captain, Wang Xiao arrived in front of a row of long houses. This was a stone house, at least a thousand meters long. As for its width, it was estimated to be more than ten meters long. Such a large warehouse, it must be the canteen.

The large warehouse was very old and very poor. Standing outside, he looked. This was not a big warehouse at all. If it was a barn, it would be a place to lock up the pigs and cows. The Vice Captain said to Wang Xiao, "This is where you guys eat. All the coolies eat here, including you guys."

Wang Xiao did not say anything. He had never thought that he would have any special privileges. He could live in a luxurious villa and had a private chef. He could live a comfortable life every day.

Eight people walked over with murderous intent.

"Nice to meet you, Myna." The Vice Captain smiled at the eight of them.

The eight of them nodded casually as a response.

At this time, the Vice Captain said to Wang Xiao, "The eight of them are the law enforcement team leaders here. They are responsible for all those who attempted to escape, as well as those who have conflicts or are in charge of the work of the coolies."

So the eight of them had a high position and belonged to those who held great power. This fellow's appearance was so ugly that he actually had such a high position. It was indeed not right. There was a saying that one should not judge a book by its cover.

Although the eight of them were extremely ugly and his looks were not satisfactory, they did have some ability.

"Yu Qiang, this is your waist tag." The eight of them arrived in front of Wang Xiao and gave him a wooden tablet. Then, they turned around and left. They could only see his high and mighty expression. He seemed to be too lazy to even look at Wang Xiao.

He was already used to this expression. He didn't even bother to look at those captured people. Even the members of his sect. As long as they weren't as strong as him, he didn't want to look at them.

In the entire Spirit Stone Vein Mine, there were eight leaders, the ones with the highest status were of course the deacon elders, Baili Xi second, and the eight third. Sha Qiandao and the others were only the captains of each cave, and their statuses were not as high as his. Apart from the deacon elder and Baili Xi, the eight of them could look down on anyone.

Wang Xiao took the wooden plate and looked at it carefully. There were a few words carved on it. These words were golden and forceful. "Cave No. 10, Spirit Exploring Yu Qiang. These were the simple words on the wooden tablet.

This should be a badge. Perhaps every laborer who entered this place would have a badge of identity. This sect handled things in an orderly manner. It was indeed very thorough.

The Vice Captain said to Wang Xiao, "Yu Qiang, this is your waist tag. You have to take care of it carefully."

"I know." Wang Xiao nodded. Even if the Vice Captain didn't say anything, Wang Xiao knew it. He didn't need his reminder at all.

Seeing that Wang Xiao did not care, the Vice Captain continued, "Don't look down on this thing. It's very important."

Wang Xiao thought, "What's important? Anyway, his status was not high. What was the use of a waist tag?

He only heard the Vice Captain continue, "Although you Spirit Force cultivators were captured and your status was not as high as ours, your status is higher than that of coolies. The people in the cafeteria only recognize waist tags and not people. As long as you hold the waist tag, the staff in the canteen will arrange a single room for you to eat, and they will also prepare good wine and meat for you."

Wang Xiao was slightly surprised. It can't be. He didn't hear it wrong if there was such a good thing. Holding the waist tag, there were actually so many benefits.

The Vice Captain continued, "After all, you are Spirit Force practitioners. Searching for medicinal Spirit Stones requires you. As for Spirit Force cultivators, once their spirits are poor, it is very difficult for them to display their skills. Therefore, your treatment is quite good."

"It seems that those who are skilled will receive a higher treatment no matter where they go. I never thought that this waist tag would have such a great effect. There were actually so many benefits. Since it was so important, then he should protect it well.

Although Wang Xiao wouldn't stay here for too long, and he had sneaked into this place just to find the Spirit Stone. But be good to yourself while you're here. There was wine and meat to eat, so why would he want to suffer? Wasn't this making things difficult for him?

"Yu Qiang, this is the dining hall in front of us. The big room where the Tenth Cave labors rest is over there." The Vice Captain pointed in a direction and said.

Wang Xiao shifted his gaze and looked over. He saw that it was a house that looked like a poor person's house. There were many houses there. They were very tall, but they were all in tatters. At a glance, it looked like a pig farm. Was that a place where people lived? That kind of place, could people live there?

Sigh!

Wang Xiao sighed. He was actually starting to be picky. When he followed his master, Tian Hsingzi, he often didn't even have a place to stay, but he still lived the same life. At that time, because his master Tian Hsingzi did not like to live in the city, he only liked to live in the mountains and wander around, so he had no place to stay. Of course, Wang Xiao also suffered. Although it was tough at that time, Wang Xiao was happy in his heart.

However, after establishing the Huaxing Gang and living a comfortable life for a few years, Wang Xiao began to pay attention to life. If it was many years ago, Wang Xiao wouldn't have cared even if he had seen such a shabby house.

"But don't worry. There is a small soundproof room in that big room. It is very soundproof. That is the room you live in." Vice Captain said.

"Alright, I understand." Wang Xiao nodded.

"Yu Qiang, since you are familiar with this place," Yu Qiang said. Then I shall go first." The Vice Captain said.

"Take care, Captain." Wang Xiao said frustratedly.

"Have a good rest. You still have work to do tomorrow." After saying this, the Vice Captain turned around and left. His attitude toward Wang Xiao was not bad. At least, he would not beat Wang Xiao up like he did to those hardworking people.

Wang Xiao was a Spirit Force cultivator, so he was very useful to them. No matter where he was or under any circumstances, as long as he had the ability, he could be put in an important position. Even if the two countries went to war and captured the people from the enemy country, as long as they were strong, the other party would give them preferential treatment and want to subdue them.2

After the Vice Captain left, Wang Xiao walked into the canteen.

The canteen was very big, and it was very humid and gloomy. The ground was full of rubbish. In the spacious dining hall, there were many long tables. In fact, these were not tables at all. They were simply made of trees.

There were countless hardworking people eating. Although the conditions were very simple, the hardworking people at least had a place to sit and eat. This mysterious bird sect was really stingy.

The smell in the cafeteria was very unpleasant. There was actually a musty smell. At this time, there were about a thousand people eating. Some of them were the hard labor of Tenth Cave. As for the other hard labor, Wang Xiao did not care which cave they were from.

After all, he came here for the Spirit Stone, not to know these hard labor. When Wang Xiao passed a long table, he saw a few coolies eating. Among these people's bowls, there were only vegetables, carrots, and potatoes.

The food was very poor, and probably very hard to eat.
